You need an auditory component, you need a visual component, and then you need things that, I think TimelyText has quite a bit of expertise, is developing a curriculum based on what is trying to be accomplished. The pain-point that TimelyText solved for Kymanox is having very professional, very experienced learning and development experts to weigh in and develop a curriculum that starts to look more like playing a video game than the worst-case scenario, which is you’re stuck reading a pile of SOPs.
What TimelyText is able to do is tap into their network and bring in the most relevant people, the most relevant experts. You’re only as strong as your network, and TimelyText’s network has proven strong thus far … TimelyText has been a valuable partner for Kymanox.

TimelyText was able to provide us with the kind of people who could sit with our engineers and translate for them, into real language. … They were able to add value and ask the right questions to put themselves in the shoes of the user, which is exactly what we wanted to help develop better documents. It was an additive thing for me; it was not just our engineers helped rewrite the documents, but the folks from TimelyText that we had working on the project were able to make them better than we would be able to ourselves.

TimelyText is quite simply the best. They are great people who truly value relationships, and they’re my go-to spot for sourcing quality talent.
Will Stolz
VP, Learning & Talent Development | FIrst Citizens Bank
I’ve been fortunate to work with them in many capacities and am ashamed I’ve not done this previously. TimelyText is a staffing company but not your average ‘people mill.’ They actually know the folks they bring to your door. As a lead and manager I worked with them to build a team’s capability. As a vendor I’ve provided services to a client of theirs, and, I’ve been on their staff as a consultant to one of their many clients. Every person that came from them was a fantastic skill fit, which puts the exclamation point behind this next sentence. They take the time to get to know their customers and understand their needs – and they also REALLY know business holistically or they’d not be able to hit the mark so regularly. As a vendor to a customer of theirs, they stayed in touch with me weekly to make sure I was taking care of them in a way that was TT-approved. Outside of doing a favor for their client TT received nothing from this. THAT’S customer service.
Positively outrageous customer service too. As a consultant, they’ve only brought me leads that were perfect for me. NO TIME WASTED. 5 rock-finger rating.

President | RockerDown Studios
I have been really pleased with the TimelyText team. They have never disappointed. Whether it was staffing that they have sourced or project-based work they have delivered, they have not disappointed. I think one of the strongest testaments to the quality of staff they have sourced for us is the number that have been subsequently offered full-time positions.
Stephen Aleksza
Manager of Implementation | Allscripts
With TimelyText’s attractive rates, talented resources and strong commitment to success, the staff at TimelyText was able to help us meet our training and documentation needs. We were implementing a large, complex application and TimelyText was able to deliver high-quality and comprehensive training materials to ease the transition.
Chris Jones
VP, Application Development Manager | First Citizens Bank
I originally worked with TimelyText when I was a Documentation Manager at Nortel Networks. They helped staff my department with highly qualified technical writers. They have an innate ability to handle complex project initiatives for all types of technical writing venues, able to effectively dissect the task at hand, while retaining a keen focus on the underlying requirements. Both Ronnie and Adrian are highly qualified professionals with a broad knowledge base and exceptional analytical skills. They facilitate strong relationships with stakeholders and peers, and are very enjoyable to work with.
Harry Bryant
Senior Technical Writer + PM | Cisco Systems
Abrigo first partnered with TimelyText in 2019 when we began investing in professionally developed materials to train our clients on how to use the Abrigo software solutions. TimelyText provided us with two instructional designers who joined us first as contractors and then moved to full-time employees as we saw the value in their work. They continue to be integral members of our Implementation team. When a need arose last year to formalize product guides for some of our business lines, we again reached out to TimelyText for support because of their expertise in technical writing.
Our partnership with TimelyText has enabled us to serve our own clients more effectively, and we continually get positive feedback on the quality of the content. I also love that our “content shared services team” are constantly growing themselves in the latest trends in adult learning. They bring that passion to us so that we can better serve our clients.
